June 18 - 19, 2020 - Hilton - Rochester, Minnesota

Designed for the infectious diseases practitioner, this is Mayo Clinic's first course dedicated entirely to the challenges of managing orthopedic infections.  The course will feature highly interactive, case-based modules starting with a series of high-yield lightning topics delivered by subject matter experts addressing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.  Examples include discordant MSIS criteria for PJI; significance of the unexpected positive intra-operative culture; and use of oral antibiotics for treatment of musculoskeletal infections.  The lightning topics are followed by case-based group discussions led by a panel of experts. 

The course will take place at the same place and time as the International Congress for Joint Reconstruction (ICJR), a premier orthopedic CME course.  There will be a two-hour combined session with the participating orthopedic surgeons to discuss mutually relevant topics such as antibiotic dosing for spacers/local antibiotic delivery; issues surrounding join re-implantation (timing of re-implant, surveillance ESR/CRP, the pre-implant aspiration); when to consider one-stage exchange; and post re-implant extended prophylaxis.  Attendees will leave with up-to-date, practical information that can be applied immediately to their clinical practice.
